Abstract: A diesel engine (E) has a combustion chamber (C), a piston (T) movable in the chamber, air intake and exhaust valves (IV, EV), and a nozzle (N) injecting fuel into the combustion chamber. By controlling hydraulic flow characteristics of an air-fuel mixture particulate matter (PM) produced by combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the chamber is reduced to a level which meets the Tier 2 requirements established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the engine. This is further accomplished by increasing the injection pressure of the fuel injected into the chamber, changing the size and/or shape of the injector nozzle to increase a ratio of the air to fuel while fuel is injected into the chamber through the nozzle, increasing the compression ratio within the combustion chamber, lowering the manifold air temperature (MAT), and retarding the start of injection (SOI) within the chamber. Besides reducing particulate matter to within the Tier 2 limits, the NOx produced by the engine is also maintained within the Tier 2 requirements, and the engine's fuel consumption is reduced.

Abstract: A mechanical setting tool for setting a mechanically set expandable packer, including a tubular housing, and an inner mandrel extending into the interior bore of the tubular housing. There is a track and follower engagement between the inner surface of the tubular housing and the outer surface of the inner mandrel, the follower adapted to engage the track. The track comprises a circumferential component and alternating axial components that define at least one intermediate position allowing limited axial movement and a release position allowing increased axial movement. The follower moves along the track until the inner mandrel is in at least one intermediate position, with a further jarring force moving the follower along the track until the follower reaches the release position. A set of gripping elements positioned on the outer surface of the tubular expand outward upon a jarring force being exerted upon on the mandrel when the follower is in the release position. The mandrel is then free to move axially to set the expandable packer connected to the second end connection.

Abstract: A typical embodiment of the gas component having high susceptibility to adsorption is an ammonia gas. An ammonia gas is apt to be adsorbed in a significant amount on the surface of a sampling tube for a flue gas during sampling operation, which has resulted in the difficulty of obtaining accurate measured values in a conventional method comprising heating a gas sampling tube. The present application discloses a method which comprises washing out the ammonia gas adsorbed on the inner wall of a conduit (2) for sampling the flue gas to be measured from the inside of the conduit by the use of a solution having absorbed ammonia as a washing solution, to thereby completely recover the gas component, and then analyzing the washing solution. The method can be suitably employed for analyzing an ammonia gas contained in a trace amount in a flue gas with high accuracy, for the purpose of adjusting a concentration of an ammonia gas to be added in a denitration apparatus for the flue gas.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un analgésique anti-inflammatoire non stéroïdien sous la forme d'un sel de métal alcalin ; et une préparation non aqueuse pour absorption percutanée laquelle comprend un support et, superposée sur celui-ci, une couche auto-adhésive comprenant une base non aqueuse mélangée avec un acide inorganique qui est plus fortement acide que l'analgésique anti-inflammatoire non stéroïdien à l'état libre. Dans la préparation non aqueuse pour absorption percutanée, du fait de l'ajout de l'acide inorganique, le médicament sous la forme d'un sel de métal alcalin a une meilleure solubilité dans la base non aqueuse et se déplace facilement vers la surface de la peau. Ainsi, l'aptitude de la préparation non aqueuse pour absorption percutanée à libérer le médicament et la pénétration du médicament dans la peau peuvent être améliorées. Dans la mesure où l'acide inorganique n'a pas de groupe hydroxy alcoolique dans sa structure, le médicament ne réagit pas avec l'acide inorganique. La préparation non aqueuse ne subit par conséquent pas de diminution de la stabilité du médicament provoquée par une estérification.
